According to distributor Govinda Shahi, by the time this report was prepared, theaters across the country had already scheduled extensive shows for the film.

Woolen Sweater is the debut feature film by director Navin Chauhan. The story spans from Panchthar in eastern Nepal to the border of West Bengal, India. Chauhan has previously directed popular musical short films such as Ghoomi Ghoomi, Dekhera Timilai – Teenpatey, Phulthunge Rani, and Chandrama.
The film was shot in Panchthar and the border area of Falelung in eastern Nepal. According to director Chauhan, the film aims to capture cultural diversity, social contradictions, and vibrant colors of Nepali society within a single narrative. The Film Censor Board has granted it a Universal (U) certificate.
